The asbestos madness continues in the very next panel!
Well, it does in one of the caption boxes, at least. It's not outright labelled as asbestos, but anything listed as being 'fire retardant' or, in this case, 'heat resistant' just has to be full of asbestos.
Some of the other things that make me laugh in this panel include the table top which is also a tv screen which scans all callers. I'm not sure how a screen can scan someone who is not right in front of it, but ok. I also really like the tiny lab where Johnny "experiments with chemicals that will help prolong the burning time of his flame". Except that we never see him do such a thing.
